US calls on China, Japan and Europe to boost domestic demand

SYDNEY Feb 21 (Reuters) - China, Japan and Europe need to
concentrate on boosting domestic demand to help rebalance the
world economy, the head of the U.S. Treasury said on Friday.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told a finance conference ahead
of this weekend's G20 meeting that Japan's economic reforms,
known as Abenomics after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, had made
progress, although more still needed to be done.

Asked about the risks from China's shadow banking sector,
Lew said the sheer size of the Chinese economy meant Beijing had
the scope to deal with any dangers.
